Guitar Hero may go console-less

Activision CEO Bobby Kotick gave console makers quite a scare yesterday, as he hinted that future editions of Guitar Hero may not require a console:

The talk included hints at a future Guitar Hero that doesn't require a console (thus, as he explained, giving the company "some leverage with first parties when it comes to downloadable content and the business model) and a promise that the industry can "expect many of [Activision's] products to be playable independent of a console." Kotick didn't explain his comments further, leaving us to wonder if he means something along the lines of the specialized plug-and-play "TV Games" found in the toy department at Target.
